Pakistani Bowler Haris Rauf ready to participate in WC

Islamabad: Pakistan's national cricket team has received a significant boost as fast bowler Haris Rauf has been declared fully fit and is gearing up for potential participation in the upcoming World Cup.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed Haris Rauf's readiness for selection in the World Cup squad.

During the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup, both Haris Rauf and fellow fast bowler Naseem Shah faced fitness issues and were unable to contribute effectively in the match against India.

Their absence from batting was notably felt, and Pakistan suffered a substantial 228-run defeat at the hands of India.

In the aftermath of this crushing defeat, Captain Babar Azam acknowledged the team's underwhelming performance.

He attributed India's victory to their well-thought-out strategy against Pakistani bowlers, highlighting their aggressive approach.

While speaking about the defeat, Babar Azam mentioned that Pakistan's performance had been subpar in all aspects of the game.

Conversely, the Indian players adopted an attacking style of play against Pakistan's bowlers, leading to a comprehensive victory.
